Pilot project to reduce energy consumption in building technology
Hälg AG is testing the AI-based software technology R8 Digital Operator at its headquarters in St. Gallen to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The pilot project aims to determine the energy-saving potential of building control. The software uses AI algorithms to monitor and automatically optimize the needs of different rooms. The test phase will last one to one and a half years.
Artificial intelligence could help to reduce energy consumption in building technology. Hälg AG, which is based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea and is active in building technology, has launched a pilot project for the AI-based software technology R8 Digital Operator from the manufacturer R8 Technologies, according to a press release.
The tests are intended to determine the energy-saving potential of the building control system at the company’s own facilities at its headquarters in St.Gallen. The software uses algorithms developed using AI, “which monitor and automatically optimise the needs of the different rooms in the building”.
The manufacturer, headquartered in Estonia, promises efficient and sustainable controls for building technology systems. Compared to conventional building automation systems, according to the announcement, the adaptations “run simultaneously through intelligent, proactive and predictive control and ensure automatic optimisation of the building technology systems”.
The test phase will extend over one to one and a half years and take into account data from all four seasons. This is how long it will take R8 to adjust. As soon as the results are available, Hälg will decide whether to continue working with R8 as the exclusive sales partner for the solution in Switzerland.
